What are your plans after Lafayette?
After Lafayette, I am planning to publish my work and attend graduate school.

What advice would you give someone looking to apply to Lafayette?
My advice I would give to someone looking to apply to Lafayette would be to be proud of your decisions. Having gone through it myself, I believe that the force behind the “college choice” pressure is not necessarily that you won’t choose the best college for you, but that you might choose one that you won’t be proud of. I am proud of my choice to come to Lafayette.

What are you involved in outside of track and field?
Outside of track and field, I like to spend my time studying, writing, working at the Rec Center and cheering on my fellow Leopards of other sports.

What is your favorite event in track and field? Why?
I love hitting PRs and running good individual races as much as the next guy, but I never feel better or more essential to the team than when I’m part of a relay. Be it the DMR, SMR, 4x800 or 4x400 — I’ve always thrived under and loved the feeling of four teammates competing as one unit.

What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
My favorite moments as a Lafayette Leopard have occurred as results of the hundreds of hours I’ve watched my teammates work on and off the track. I’ve never felt happier than I did when the likes of Fishbein, Kaufmann and Hubeny took the podiums at Leagues, Strand went 4/4 at the Lehigh Dual, Bové won the 4x400 after falling down and every time Schneck ran really fast. And all of those moments can be traced back to running with the guys on the team.
